New effort to destroy Hannity with O’Reilly-type advertiser boycott
American Thinker ^ | 08/04/2017 | Peter Barry Chowka

Posted on 08/04/2017 8:54:11 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Sean Hannity, who has the #1 MSM radio and TV programs opposing the Deep State fake news juggernaut that seeks to destroy the presidency of Donald J. Trump, is the target of a new attack that aims to deliver the "kill shot" to his successful 21-year reign on the Fox News channel – and, in so doing, further weaken the Trump administration's attempts to get its story out on the last surviving fair and balanced American mainstream media outlet.

It was largely a successful advertiser boycott of Fox News's longtime #1 host, Bill O'Reilly, last spring that resulted in O'Reilly's leaving the channel in late April.  The enemies of Fox News, and of Hannity in particular, are gearing up for another round.

In recent weeks and months, Hannity's daily programs – three hours on nationally syndicated radio and an hour in prime time on the Fox News Channel – have established the affable 55-year-old host as the most easily accessible go-to source for accuracy and clarity on the coordinated effort to take down President Trump.  Day after day and night after night, Hannity and his A-Team of expert guests – including investigative journalists Sara Carter of Circa News and John Solomon of The Hill, attorney and Fox News anchor Gregg Jarrett, and attorney and White House legal adviser Jay Sekulow, among others – have provided crisp, alternative, and accurate reporting and analyses of the day's news, especially as it relates to the POTUS.

An example was Hannity's program on Thursday, August 3 (a transcript will be online here later on August 4), which, unlike most of his FNC programs, aired live at 10 P.M. EDT due to breaking news of President Trump's address in West Virginia, which Fox, unlike CNN, carried live.

I expect this is the kind of thing 0bama is doing now; organizing these efforts to destroy our messengers.

I have seen nothing to back this up and don't believe O'Reilly was hurting for sponsors at all when he left.

Then you weren’t paying attention. The loss of advertisers was discussed here on FR.

Hannity was ON FIRE explaining the truth on both radio and TV yesterday.

He is all we have on TV. He is a KNIGHT of patriotism and truth at this point because none of the other “conservatives” EVER put their money or life or career on the line. Ann Coulter stops where her coins stop trickling in. Rush same.

We must polarize and shame any individual who goes after him. We must use Alinsky tactics right back at the them.

They own 98% of the media. THEY NEED TO BACK OFF SEAN. If he gets hurt, we get hurt BIGLY. Not going to happen.

Standard leftist tactic is to silence anyone who disagrees with or opposes them. The really ugly face of the Left is being exposed by Trump.

And those advertisers were replaced immediately. Just as when advertisers left Rush and were immediately replaced. I remember one of the advertisers who left Rush ended up begging him to let them run ads again.

Kudos to Hannity. He, along with Tucker Carlson and Lou Dobbs are taking it to the Deep State. Hannity has been relentless lately.

BTW, email Tucker and he is likely to email you back. He is receptive to new ideas for topics or other comments. Way cool.

I remember that also and remember that his followers boycotted the products those advertisers represented. A win, win....

What is that email address for Tucker, do you remember?

Thanks!

Most Socialists in America probably around 89%, fail to read views other than their own, usually reported by some far left Marxist, elected or non-elected by has a bully pulpit of some sort.....Sean Hannity follows the US Constitution; Rush Limbaugh follows the US Constitution; Lou Dobbs follows the US Constitution: Levin, Prager, and many others....the US Constitution Is what the Socialist/Marxist don't want in this country, along with the Second Amendment and they will do anything to put a stop to that document....those haters have a leg up with the bakers who declined to make a wedding cake for a same sex marriage...because it went against their religion....they were forced.....meanwhile a Muslim Bakery declined to bake a cake for some gay or lesbian couples...AND that was okay. Huh!!??

As long as it remains okay for Lawyer Muller to break U.S. Code of Federal Regulations 20-600.1....even the American Bar association is doing nothing....we are becoming even more lawless....POTUS is trying to bring Law and Order back to America....bet there are few who realized how far America has become a Third World entity, it's just easier to have someone else make the decisions and pay you not to work.

Hang in there Sean, you have many friends who will not lay down for these anti-Americans.

I don’t watch the television show, but how does one boycott direct sales operations that sell mattresses and pillows on the radio?

Free Republic would not exist if not for Rush. Your comment about him is moronic.

Mark Levin, contrary to the assertions of some here at FR, has been relentless and admirable in his exposure and criticism of all aspects of the ‘soft coup d’état’ that is occurring to Trump.
